Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new type of bean pot particularly to the means by which dry beans may be quickly and efficiently prepared on various non-oven type heat sources (i.e., stove top, induction hot plate) for human consumption.
- non-oven type heat sources i.e., stove top, induction hot plate
- the ceramic/clay bean pot is an energy-heavy and time-consuming process for oven use.
- the quick-cook bean pot eliminates the need for an overnight soak and drastically reduces cook time thereby saving valuable energy and time resources.
- the present invention eliminates the step for an overnight soak of beans in water and also drastically reduces cook time for dry beans to reach doneness through current methods in a stockpot.
- the quick-cook bean pot's design and stainless/brass/aluminum material enables beans to cook far more quickly and evenly than traditional methods.
- the large spherical cooking chamber is broader than the short cylindrical neck. This broader spherical cooking chamber to narrower short cylindrical neck ratio helps beans cook rapidly. With the addition of dry beans and water, when a low heat source is applied from a stove-top (gas, electric, hot plate, or induction) to the pot base, soon the food begins to boil. The constant low-temperature applied to the base causes the food to travel up the large, spherical cooking chamber toward the short, narrow cylindrical neck.
- the (relatively cooler) beans encounter the relatively hotter beans that have traveled more recently from the base and the “cooler” beans travel back again to the base which heats them, sending a constant flow of hotter beans from the base through the large, spherical cooking chamber, up the cooler short cylindrical neck where the cooler beans settle and the cyclical process is repeated continually until the beans are done and the heat source is removed.
- the lid prevents escape of heat allowing food to cook more quickly, and also allows the cook to easily remove it in order to observe water levels and food doneness.
- the low heat source can be a “simmer/low” setting on a gas or electric stove, hot plate or induction cook top.
- the pot will not work in a microwave, on a toaster, or in a toaster oven. It is not made for use on indoor or outdoor grills.
- the FIGURE is a plan view of the present invention on the right and a cross sectional view of the present invention on the left.
- the quick-cook pot comprises a lid ( 1 ), a lip ( 2 ), a short, narrow cylindrical neck ( 3 ), handles ( 4 ), a large, spherical cooking chamber ( 5 ), and a base ( 6 ).
- the base is more narrow than its spherical cooking chamber.
- the large, spherical cooking chamber is considerably wider than its short, narrow cylindrical neck.
- the short, narrow cylindrical neck meets the lip which securely fits completely detachable lid.
- the perspective view shows the quick-cook bean pot with lid detached.
- the cross-section view also shows the quick-cook bean pot with lid detached.
- the lid should remain on the pot when in use, but can be removed occasionally to observe water levels and test food doneness.
- the quick-cook bean pot uses the same material technology used to produce standard 18/10 stainless steel cooking pots. Its base is comprised of an even heating metal element of a multi-ply material for even heating. The metal pot is durable and non-breakable.
- the quick-cook pot comprises a lip; short, narrow cylindrical neck; large, spherical cooking chamber; a base; handles; and a lid.
- the base is more narrow than its spherical cooking chamber.
- the spherical cooking chamber is much wider than its short cylindrical neck.
- the short cylindrical neck meets the lip which securely fits completely detachable lid.
- the interior is made of stainless steel.
- the exterior is made of stainless steel and an extended dual-ply base of brass, copper, aluminum or other even-heat conducting metal or alloy; or a conventional multi-ply base sandwich of stainless steel and other even-heat conducting metals or alloys.
